Nearly 1 billion people worldwide lose their hair. However, some people don’t wear wigs all the time, and may only take them out and wear them when attending important occasions or doing a certain style. As a result, wig storage has become a new problem.
First clean the wig before storing it. You need to clean it with lukewarm water and a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid tangles and help keep your hair smooth. After cleaning, do not rub the wig vigorously, and dry it in a cool and ventilated place. When the wig is completely dry, you can store it.
There are several ways to store wigs:
1.Put the wig on the wig holder.
The wig is easily deformed if thrown there for a long time. The best way is to put it on the wig holder. Wig holders also come in many different varieties, such as portable holders, cork, canvas heads, and the classic Styrofoam. The wig holder imitates the shape of the head, and placing the wig on it can protect the wig from being deformed to the greatest extent. This is the favorite way for hair stylists. However, if you have a lot of wig styles, it depends on the size of your storage space. If the space is not enough, you can also use the following methods.
2.Wrap the wig in silk or satin.
Store the wig in a silk or satin bag when not wearing it. It keeps your wig soft and shiny and reduces the loss of moisture in your wig, which is the cheapest and easiest way to keep your wig hydrated. Simple and portable, with little storage space, it’s a great choice for those who need to travel a lot with wigs. However, this method is only suitable for short hair, if your wig is very long, it is likely to be tangled in such storage.
3.Use a hard box.
Rather than a bag, a hard box (like a shoe box) is a very good idea, you just need to lay the wig flat in the box. The premise, of course, is to make sure the box is completely dry and clean. Not only will this method keep the wig clean and dry, but it won’t also make it tangled.
4.Use a clear plastic sealable bag.
A clean, transparent airtight bag is an item that is often seen in life, and it is a must in every kitchen. Put your wig flat in an airtight bag in a cool, dry place to keep your wig completely dry and clean.
The above four storage methods of wigs are relatively common and practical methods, but there are still some special precautions when storing:
1.Before storing the wig, you should clean it and make sure that your wig has been dried. Do not store the wet wig.
2.The preferred storage method is the wig holder.
3.It’s best to store wigs in a cool, dry place away from light and heat, and keep them out of direct sunlight.
4.Make sure your wig is kept away from curious children or pets so that it won’t cause unnecessary damage by taking it out.
